Wizard School: Idle Magic

You have been taken into the Twilight Spire academy — no name in the register of old bloodlines, just ability. Ahead of you: eight years, eight exams, and the Order of Ash, which dislikes that a half-mage studies alongside everyone else. It is a clicker, but not about building a school of magic. Here you study in one. THE WAND AND THE LESSONS Touching the spell circle gives mana at once; lessons gather it on their own, even while the game is closed. The wand strengthens your study, it does not replace it: the further your items run ahead of your lessons, the less the next one gives. So both have to grow — there is no single button to press. EIGHT YEARS AND THEIR EXAMS Every year ends with an exam: so many gestures within a set time. Failing takes nothing away — come again. Behind each exam wait new items, lessons, places on the road and better lodgings. FOUR FACULTIES, EACH WITH ITS OWN STORY Battle charms, broom flight, potions and herbs, the archive and its secrets. The first stage you complete decides your faculty, and it has its own mentor and its own line of scenes. One run shows you only one of the four — which is the reason to walk through the academy again. GREENHOUSE AND FAMILIAR Six beds grow by the clock, closed game included: plant at bedtime, gather after breakfast. The harvest is herbs, and your animal lives on them. An owl, a cat or a toad — chosen once and for good, and it stays with you even through a new school year. The owl watches over your night store, the cat hears the Order first, the toad turns up more in the beds than was planted. THE ORDER OF ASH The threat rises by itself. At a hundred an inspection arrives and every gain is halved — until you win any trial. TEN MINI-GAMES The trials test different things, and no two repeat: a duel on reaction, a recipe from memory, rune carving for precision, a constellation for attention, hunting an ink blot, sorting the owl post, the herbalist's scales for counting, a steady flame for measure, the beat of a spell for timing, and a flight through hoops for control. TODAY'S PLAN AND ACHIEVEMENTS Three things to do each day and fourteen achievements. Deeds are paid in stardust — the same dust a new school year brings, and it stays with you for good. A NEW SCHOOL YEAR After graduating you may start over: everything you gathered settles as dust that speeds up the next run. Your diary, your bag and the scenes you have seen all remain.
